Moments of Spring

Washing flying in the breeze under a bright blue sky, I'm a wimp and don't hang it out in the winter as I don't like standing in the cold and it always seems wet when you bring it in. Winter for us always involves soggy washing draped in random places over the house - we don't own a tumble drier!

Croci on campus, I went for a walk around in the middle of my study day and saw these sprouting behind the library, little drops of colour against the grey concrete eye-sore that is our main arts and humanities library...

Moments at Home

Bella cat watching hopefully from the sofa arm - is it dinner time yet says her calm constant stare. She has been on a very unwelcome diet recently, hard to enforce with two cats but she is starting to get a bit more streamline. We are very cruel cat servants owners.

Daffs in my lovely Orla Kiely vase C gave me for Christmas. I love the contrast of the yellow and white

Moments of Crafty Naughtiness

A new project and new yarn...and worse of all the new project doesn't involve the new yarn! What a rebel... I'm not very popular with hubbie but it makes me happy ;)

Moments of Nostalgia

On my break from the library I walked to the area of campus we call The Downs, a lovely green open area. The building at the bottom is Lincoln Hall, and that is where my parents deposited me with my suitcase ten years ago as a fresh-faced 18 year old ready for the adventures of university. If you had told me then I'd still be studying 10 years later I would have laughed! I have had a few years out, it hasn't been constant, that's enough to drive anyone a bit bonkers.... It's a truly beautiful campus in all four seasons, I've been very lucky :)

I'm always buying yarn and then using something else...still, how else would one build a stash? :-) Looking forward to see what you are working on! Your puddy-tat is very cute, cats are so disdainful aren't they. My own cat was a real snob when she was alive, but we loved her attitude, if ever there was an animal giving you the v's on a frequent basis it was her! X

Lovely spring moments both at home and outdoors.. We don't own a tumble drier either. I wish we do, it will make washing and drying so much easier especially in winter : ) I love seeing all the croci in bloom too. Just like daffs, they're cheerful and lovely and tells us that spring is here. Looking forward to seeing more of your new project. Have a nice week!

I love pegging out washing! It smells so good when you bring it inside too. Beautiful puss, I hope she forgives you for putting her on a diet! Your green crochet circle is a similar green to the one in my new blanket I've just started, a lovely springy green! xx

About Me

I explore, I dream, I read avidly, I crochet, I travel, I eat cake, I study, I drink tea, I blog about it. I'm a twenty something English girl, living in the East Midlands with hubbie. We have a vintage campervan Bonnie who takes us off on adventures in our spare time. In my perfect world it would always be teatime.
